Biofilters are designed primarily for the purpose of water filtration and to eliminate solids from water that cause it to become cloudy. These water purification systems are very useful in controlling pollution with the help of living organisms to capture and degrade pollutants. Biofilters are used for treating wastewater Men's Nike Air Vapormax Plus Cool Grey Shoes NZ Online , capturing harmful chemicals from runoff water, and removing toxic contaminants from air.

Biofilters today are in use for several applications. The most popular ones include bioswales, constructed or natural wetlands, slow sand filters, treatment ponds and green belts. All have a particular function and use and different kinds of organic material are used for removing different pollutants.


Biofilters are used for filtering water in the form of trickling filters. They use natural microorganisms in surface water to improve the quality of water. In ideal situations, low turbidity and high oxygen content helps micro-organisms decompose pollutants in water, thus improving the quality of drinking water. Some other natural methods such as sand filters are common for carbon filters and are used to stimulate growth of healthy microorganisms that help in decomposing pollutant material present in water. Treating water using biological filtration methods has additional advantages of reducing waterborne diseases and dissolving organic carbon in water.


The success of a biofilter is majorly dependent on the efficient maintenance of the biomass attached to the filter. Biomass detachment is one of the most vital mechanisms that can affect the maintenance of biomass in a biofilter. Erosion, abrasion, sloughing, grazing, and filter backwashing are commonly observed detachment mechanisms. These may happen because of fluid shear and scraping of the biocell from the surface due to collision of external particles. Large patches of biomass are detached by sloughing, and a portion of the biomass particularly on the outer surface of the biofilm could be lost due to the grazing of protozoa. The biomass profile is the most important element in the design of water purification systems like biolfilters and must be chosen carefully so as to perform optimal organic removal.
